Star Bounty Gameplay

The pay-table includes 4 card royals with low values, 4 symbols with medium payouts and 4 premiums. The J and Q pay equally – 0.05, 0.10, 0.40 and 1x stake for 3, 4, 5 or 6 of a kind in combinations. The K and A return 0.10, 0,20, 0.50 and 1.50x stake for 3 to 6 symbols. The medium value ones include 4 emblems with fluorescent colours and complex shapes. The blue and green ones grant 0.20 to 2 times your stake for 3 to 6 matching symbols. The purple and pink emblems pay 0.40 to 3 times your stake for 3 to 6 identical symbols.

The premiums are the 4 spaceship crew members. The robots with the blue and green masks give you 0.60, 1, 2 and 5 times the stake for 3 to 6 symbols. The lady commander pays 0.80, 1.20, 3 and 10 times your stake for 3, 4, 5 and 6 symbols. The most rewarding of all is the male commander. It pays 1, 2, 7.50 and 15 times your stake for 3, 4, 5 and 6 symbols in combinations.

The wild is the colorful icon holding the word itself. It substitutes for all except for the scatter. It appears on reels 2 to 6 and can’t land on reel 1 only. The free spins icon is the scatter and it can land on all reels. Three scatters trigger the free spins.

Part of the gameplay is the Tumble feature. After matching 3 to 6 symbols on successive reels left to right starting from the 1st reel, the winning symbols disappear. The rest of the symbols drop down and the empty positions are filled by new symbols popping from above. Tumbles will keep coming as long you form new wins. At the end of the spin sequence, you will be paid for all combinations. There is no limit to the number of tumbles you can score.

Star Bounty Features & Bonuses

There is a Missile Wild symbol that appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. When it hits a reel, it fires a random number of symbols on the grid turning them wilds. This is the Missile Feature. It is active and upgraded during free spins.

Landing 3 or more scatters within a spin sequence triggers the Free Spins. Before they start, you will play a special respin feature. During it, the triggering scatters become sticky on their places. Each respin can result in the landing of more scatters, which keeps the respins going. Every scatter landed on a respin becomes a sticky symbol. The more you get, the more free spins you will win.

Every landed sticky scatter gives you 1 free spin and adds another respin. If you fail to get at least 1 scatter during a respin, the feature ends. The same thing happens if you fill all 24 positions with scatters. At the end of the respins, you will win free spins equal to the number of sticky scatters on the grid. You can win up to 24 free spins in the best case when you fill all 24 positions with scatters.

During free spins, all base game features are active. One of them is significantly enhanced. When you land a Missile Wild symbol, it shoots other symbols turning them into 2x or 3x multiplier wilds. The latter increase your payouts for the combinations they take part in. The best is that more multiplier wilds contributing to the same combination multiply their values. Unfortunately, you cannot retrigger the free spins. Yet, you have great chances to win many from the starting respin feature.

The Conclusion

Star Bounty is original, innovative and impresses in every way. The grid has an unusual hexagonal shape and the features ensure abundant wins. The game is highly volatile and more suitable for high rollers. Its winning potential is superb as are the design and musical background.
